Boutique Hunter Valley farm Cressfield couldn’t sell this blue-blooded daughter of former star mare Our Egyptian Raine at the yearling sales and it’s proven a blessing in disguise with Egyptian Symbol taking out the Group III ATC The Nivison at Randwick back in October and booking her ticket for the Gold Coast in January with a dominant win in the $100,000 Three and Four Year Old event at Wyong on Thursday.

The talented daughter of ill-fated Stratum was having her first run back from a short let-up and proved far too good in surging clear from Brenton Avdulla to win the 1200 metre contest by a length and a half as favourite.

The victory has given her trainer Bjorn Baker added confidence in heading back to the Gold Coast on January 14 to make amends for a luckless third 12-months ago in the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, when badly held-up in the straight behind Mahuta and Single Gaze.
